THE HIGHLAND DANCE COMPANY OF NZ PERFORM IN AUCKLAND
As part of the RWC celebrations prior to the Scotland vs England match on 1 October, The Highland Dance Company of NZ were invited to perform at Vector Arena on Friday 30 September at The Spirit of Bannockburn Concert. The star act for the concert were Red Hot Chilli Pipers. 17 of the Company were able to make the trip to Auckland and performed 3 items with the Auckland and Districts Pipe Band plus their signature piece "NZ Dancing Feet" as well as dancing in the Finale of the concert with Red Hot Chilli Pipers in front of an audience of approximately 4,000 people. Following the concert Red Hot Chilli Pipers extended an invitation to the dancers to perform with them at their Christchurch and return Auckland gigs - 5 dancers performed at The Music Bar in Hornby on Tuesday 4 October and Wednesday 5 October and 5 Auckland dancers will perform at the Juice Bar in Parnell on Monday 10 October.
The following night, as the final act prior to the Scotland - England clash the Company dancers performed "NZ Dancing Feet' on the main stage at Queen's Wharf. The atmosphere was electric with thousands of Scottish and English fans plus the Kiwis down at Party Central to watch the game. The weekend was an exhilirating adventure for the dancers who performed like true professionals and were a fantastic advertisement for our Academy and Highland dancing in general
